    Evening one and all.

    Been a busy day today. Been out delivering presents to various peeps.

    My little girl is in hyper mode and has been a little minxy. I think it's going to be three days up til Xmas lol.

    Been thinking a bit tonight about my future and life after marriage. It's all a bit scary :o

    My two are teenagers now and are just as hyper and excited about Christmas as they were when they were little :rolleyes: This is the first year I have put the pressies under the tree - normally they are firmly hidden away. I suspect much squeezing and shaking of parcels tomorrow while I am work :rotfl:

    I always used to do that and then you feel gutted if you work out what the present is :rotfl:

    Good morning, can't quite believe its Xmas week. Not a good start to my day my work laptop isn't working this will no doubt mean 3 hours on the phone to our IT department :eek:

    Need to do quite a bit today as the house is looking very messy and there is a high possibility of visitors coming. So today the plan is:

    - check online banking
    - daily clicks/scratchcards DONE
    - STP
    - Buy toothpaste
    - Tidy kitchen and mop floor
    - 2 loads of washing/drying/ironing and put away
    - Dust and hoover living room
    - 3 dooyoo reviews DONE

    Awww cheers that would be handy.

    I need it for my little girl and none of the local shops sell kiddies ones so I am afraid I am going to have to brave :eek: Tescos:eek: .

    I'm not too bad, although my little girl is getting more and more hyper by the day. Yesterday was a loooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg day lol

    Hey LittleEmms good to see you back, I'm much better now thanks.

    My little girl is too young to be getting up mega early so I think she should be up around 7am as normal.

    I wasn't allowed in my parents room till 7am when I was little. I can remember waking every hour praying it was 7am from about midnight lol

    My mum & dad fitted a chain to the front room door - like you would have on your front door - to stop brothers getting in.. they were young - i was more grown up and liked my sleep! (teenager!)

    Then they became far too clever and realised that by standing on each others shoulders they could reach to get up to the chain. So that year - off came the door handle as well, Parents wrapped it up and put it at the bottom of their bedroom stocking! :D But they had to wait for dad to get up (like you about 7am) with a screwdriver to make it all work!! :rotfl:

    Ahhh kids!!! ;)
